I assume you are talking about replacing the 6 cylinder with a 302, and you are asking about going from 4 bolts to 5 at the hubs. Is that right?

yeah that is exactly what i mean i know that if i keep the original four bolt lugs then it start to bend inward on me i just have no idea where to get the necassary kit or parts needed. So i guess i am asking what is the best way via website or whatever to find the parts needed

I suggest you do a Granada swap. Look up in the "top" section and you will see a good article about what parts you will need, and how to do it. You will also have to replace your transmission since the bell housing won't match up to the V8, and the tranny is weak. You can use the I6 coil springs, but your car will sit lower in front if you do. Basically, what you need to do is to do some research. Type in 6 cylinder to V8 conversion in Google, and you will get some very good sites that explain everything. Do the research before you start.
